Pilots and mechanics in civil aviation, 1967-77

"In recognition of the need for up-to-date comprehensive information on the manpower aspects of the civil aviation industry, the Department of Labor undertook this study designed to appraise current and future requirements and resources for pilots and mechanics in civil aviation. The study was done at the request and with the support of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Defense--the two Federal agencies most concerned with manpower developments in civil aviation. The study was conducted in two parts: Part I, which was prepared under the direction of the United States Training and Employment Service (USTES) of the Department of Labor's Manpower Administration presents an analysis of current and short-range requirements and resources for pilots and mechanics in each of the principal sectors of civil aviation--both in the airlines and general aviation categories. This analysis is based on a special survey of employers in these industry groups, conducted by USTES in cooperation with affiliated State employment security agencies. Part II, conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), presents projections of long-range manpower requirements, also by principal sectors of civil aviation, and the methods used to derive these projections."--Page iii.
